TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Various industries suffered heavy losses due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Corporates have laid off thousands of employees for efficiency reasons during this time. However, many companies are actively starting to recruit new members.

Quoted from the Times of India, here are seven business skills that employers are looking for.

Critical thinking and problem solving

Very few people have the skills to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a problem. Solving complex problems requires intense analogical and evaluative thinking at high speed.

Agility

Companies want independent individuals. In an era where customers are always right, employees who can deliver smart strategies quickly to meet consumer needs are valuable ones.

Management Skills

Companies look for workers with effective communication, leadership, delegation and motivation skills, as well as able to cross barriers and handle stress.

Flexibility

Organizations look for individuals who can think and analyze multiple situations simultaneously. People with high cognitive flexibility can change their thinking from one situation to another without stress.

Emotional intelligence

The ability to monitor and analyze emotions without discrimination allows for proper actions and ability not to give up unnecessary situations.

Motivational skills

The individual must have the confidence to inspire and lead others to achieve success. Organizations of the future look for employees who can market their beliefs and inspire others to be successful by using the right path.
